Juon iaan kōmeļeļe ko rem̧m̧an tata kōn jerbal eo an karōk eo an jum̧ae ej ilo Bok in Mormon, ilo katak ko an Liai n̄an ļeo nejin Jekab.
“Bwe emennin aikuj, n̄an an wōr jum̧āe ilo men otemjej. Eļan̄n̄e ejjab āindein, … wānōk ejjāmin kar maron̄ kūrm̧ool, ak jero̧wiwi, ak kwōjarjar ak en̄taan, ak em̧m̧an im nana” (2 Nipai 2:11; bar lale eoon 15).
Āinwōt juon toprak, Liai eaar wōnm̧aan ļo̧k wōt, “Irooj Anij eaar leļo̧k n̄an armej bwe en aikuj kōm̧m̧an n̄an e make. Kōn menin armej eaar jab maron̄ kōm̧m̧an n̄an e make n̄e ejjab po ippān juon ak eo juonr” (eoon 16). Āin ļo̧k wōt, ilo revelesōn eo raan kein Irooj eaar kean̄, “Im emennin aikuj bwe debil en kapo ro nejin armej, n̄e jaab reban maron̄ ro ripinej jenkwaer make” (K&B 29:39).
Jum̧ae eaar menin aikuj ilo Jikin Kallib Eden. Eļan̄n̄e Adam im Eve n̄e raar jab kōm̧m̧ane kālet eo me kar kwaļo̧k kadkad in mour in, Liai eaar katakin, “ren kar pād ilo nememe in erreo, … jab kōm̧m̧an em̧m̧an, bwe raar jeļā ejjeļo̧k jero̧wiwi” (2 Nipai 2:23).
Jān jinoin, anemkwōj im jum̧ae raar dilāpen karōk eo an Jemād im n̄an jum̧ae eo an Satan ņae. Āinwōt an Irooj kar kwaļo̧k n̄an Moses, ilo ko̧o̧njeļ eo ilo lan̄ Satan kar “kappukōt n̄an ko̧kkure anemkwoj in kāālet eo an armej” (Moses 4:3). Kakkure jab in eaar pād wōt ilo karōk eo an Satan. Eaar itok im̧aan Jemān im ba, “N̄a e, kwōn jilkinļo̧k eō, inaaj eo nejūm̧ m̧aan, im inaaj lo̧mo̧o̧ren aolep armej, bwe en ejjeļo̧k juon enaaj jako, im em̧ool inaaj kōm̧m̧ane, kōn menin letok n̄an eō utiej eo Am̧” (Moses 4:1)
Kōn menin, Satan eaar kajjitōk n̄an kōm̧m̧ane karōk eo an Jemen ilo juon wāween me enaaj kar bōbrae an dede ļo̧k jibadbad eo an Jemed im leļo̧k n̄an Satan aiboojoj eo An.
Elmakot eo an Satan bwe en wōr weppān wōt: enaaj kar “lo̧mo̧o̧ren aolep armej,” jon̄an ejjeļo̧k juon jetōb enaaj kar jako. Enaaj kar ejjeļo̧k anemkwōj in kālet ak kālet jān jabdewōt im, kōn menin, ejjab aikuj bwe en wōt jum̧ae. Enaaj kar ejjeļo̧k idajon̄jon̄, likjab, im ejjeļo̧k wejepedik. Enaaj kar ejjeļo̧k eddōk ļo̧k n̄an bōk jibadbad eo an Jemed eaar kōņaan n̄an ro Nejin. Jeje ko rekwojarjar ej ļo̧oke bwe jum̧ae eo an Satan eaar tōprak in juon “tariņae ilo lan̄” (Revelesōn 12:7) ilo eo aolep bōtaab juon m̧ōttan jilu in ro nejin Anij raar bōk jim̧we eo n̄an en̄jake mour in kōn kālet karōk eo an Anij im joļo̧k jum̧ae eo an Satan.
Jibadbad eo an Satan eaar n̄an leļo̧k n̄an e make utiej im kajoor eo an Jemān (lale Aiseia 14:12–15; Moses 4:1, 3). “Kōn menin,” Jemān eaar ba, “kōnke men in Setan eaar jum̧ae Eō, … Iaar kōm̧m̧ane bwe ren jolaļļo̧k e” (Moses 4:3) ippān aolep jetōb ko me raar kōjerbal anemkwōj in kālet eo aer n̄an ļoor e (lale Jude 1:6; Revelesōn 12:8–9; K&B 29:36–37). Jolaļ tak āinwōt jetōb ko ejjeļo̧k ānbwin ilo mour in, Satan imro rikaļooran rej kapo im pukōt n̄an m̧oņ im auujid ro nejin Anij (lale Moses 4:4). Kōn menin en̄in ej bwe eo enana, eo eaar im pukōt n̄an kakkure karōk eo an Jemen, lukkuun kar jipan̄, kōnke ej jum̧we eo me ej kōmaron̄ kālet im ej iien eo em̧m̧an an kōm̧m̧ani kālet ko rejim̧we me rej tōl n̄an eddōk ļo̧k eo me ej jibadbad eo an karōk eo an Jemān.

Jemād Liai eaar katakin bwe eļan̄n̄e Wōtlo̧k eo eaar jab bōk jikin, Adam im Eve “ren kar pād ilo nememe in erreo, ejjeļo̧k lan̄lōn̄, bwe reban kar jeļā kōn en̄taan” (2 Nipai 2:23). Eļan̄n̄e ejjeļo̧k jum̧ae ilo mour in, “aolep men reaikuj koba ilo juon,” eļan̄n̄e ejjab eban wōr m̧ōņōņō ak en̄taan (eoon 11). Kōn menin, eo Jemān Liai ekar wōnm̧aanļo̧k wōt, ālkin Anij ekar kōm̧anm̧an men otemjej, “n̄an bōktok tokjān ko an indeeo ilo jem̧ļo̧kin armej, … emennin aikuj bwe en kar wōr jum̧ae; em̧ool leen eo kōmo̧iki n̄an wōjke in mour; eo etōn̄al im eo juon emeo̧” (eoon 15).2 Katak ko An kōn m̧ōttan in an karōk in lo̧mo̧o̧r eo rej kōjem̧ļo̧ke ilo naan kein:

“Adam eaar wōtlo̧k bwe armej ren kar āinwōt, bwe ren maron̄ āinwōt, bwe ren maron̄ m̧ōņōņō” (eoon 24–25).
